My spouse and I stayed at the Crystal for 10 glorious days and found all the amenities to be superb.
We stayed in a one bedroom apartment with the most amazing view of the beach and the amazing mountain ranges.
The unit and complex is perfectly located.
The complex has both a heated and cold pool, providing endless hours of...

We stayed at studio apartement and it was nice spacious and cozy. Very modern. Bed is huge and comfy ( not so soft). View is really nice. Private indoor garage with 24h security guard. Neighborhood is quiet. Restaurants and beach is about 30min walk, bout 5min with car. We really enjoyed staying there.

This apartment was very spacious and includes full kitchen and facilities. Very modern and clean. Balcony with amazing views out over Lions head hill and also the sea. Nice secure carparking and helpful staff.
Do be aware it is a good 20 minutes walk down to the main street with shops and the sea front and it is very steep,...

I stayed here with friends and it was just beautiful. The entire unit was clean. Also, each unit has a FULL kitchen with washer and dryer, dishwasher etc. The beds are comfortable, bathrooms are modern and beautiful, and both bathroom and bedroom have heated floors. Both the living area and master bedroom have ocean views. It was just a beautiful...

Stayed in the one bedroom apartment (111) and we were impressed by the size and comfort the apartment provided. Certainly felt at home. The views of table mountain from the rooms were amazing but the views from the balcony of the beach and beyond were breath taking. We had very memorable sunsets from the comfort of our balcony which will...

We stayed for two nights and could have stayed more under different circumstances. We were at the end of a long holiday but they would be fantastic for a longer break with a car. The apartments are very modern, clean and spacious. The setting is wonderful, overlooking Camps Bay in front and with Table Mountain behind. They are ideal for...

Dear AandM_10
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. For couples wanting to explore I would rather suggest to have a vehicle or different tours booked in advance.
Although it is only a 10-minute walk to the beach front and Camps Bay Strip it is advisable to rather get a taxi/bus back as the hill can be...

An excellent base as our first stopping off point in South Africa. In a lovely, safe suburb (Camps Bay), the apartments are very well appointed, spacious and offer lovely views across the bay. With a car it is easy to get to Capetown, Signal hill, Table mountain cablecar and Lion head. Camps Bay itself was quiet (in July), with a...

Dear Harold 59
Thank you for your review. Although we have changed wifi service providers we are still in the process of upgrading the signal, unfortunately due to the layout of the block the process is taking longer than anticipated.
Kind Regards

This was our fourth or fifth stay at The Crystal and we enjoyed the location so much that this time, we recommended it to friends who came with us and we collectively booked three apartments. Imagine the surprise when we called the establishment Management to ask for a late check-out and were told that we have to pay 50% of...

Dear Lwazi
Thank you for returning to The Crystal, unfortunately due to your reservation being under a different name we regret that we could not welcome you back as a return guest.
Unfortunately depending on our occupancy we do charge for late departures.
Thank you for responding to my email after your departure. We trust that we can make up...

We had booked a one bedroom apartment but on arrival were disappointed with the view as there really wasn't one plus the apartment itself was more like a studio as opposed to a one bedroom. As our stay was during the Winter months we were lucky to be upgraded to the second floor corner two bedroom apartment which was a...

Dear Sally S
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately all our studio and one bedroom apartments are located on the ground floor. Although all the apartments have a view they do differ with location and floor.
We are pleased that we could upgrade you and that you had a memorable stay.
We hope to welcome you back in the near...

If you are travelling alone, as I was you will think twice before booking, as it's a bit expensive. Biggest surprise was no internet in the room - the only hotspot was around reception, so people would have to stand in the garage/parking to browse, make further travel arrangements, make calls (instead of making them from the pool...) or check...
